Picture Frame Lantern (DIY) ~Woodland Wedding~

Outdoor wedding receptions are magical.  Music and laughter are carried by the breeze.  No matter the location, it's always a breathtaking, beautiful event.  The secret is lighting.  

Domes of Curiosity (DIY)

Recently, I found the website www.wisteria.com, and fell in love with it.  My favorite category is the Rare Bird section filled with stunning  one-of-a-kind antiques and treasures.  It was here that I discovered the Domes of Curiosity.  The original versions, cased in thick glass and artfully arranged, are priced between $900 and $1,500.  Of course, they are full of beautiful and rare objects, but if you want a much less expensive version, you can make several of  these little versions for under $15.

Up-cycled Doily Blanket (DIY)

In the very hectic weeks before Christmas, I spent my precious alone time curled up on the couch with a cat, eating cookies and looking through a bottomless pile of catalogs.
